When creating nd_namespace_blk, its uuid is copied from nd_label->uuid. In case the memory allocation fails, it goes to the error branch.
This check is better to be done immediately after memory allocation, while current implementation does this after assigning claim_class. This patch moves the check immediately after uuid allocation.
